The shingles vaccine is not recommended by the CDC for anyone younger than 60 because it has not yet been thoroughly studied in those age groups.

I recently went to this facility for extreme arm and shoulder pain after suffering a fall. I was greeted by three very nice girls at the front desk. The nurse I saw, Carol was so very nice and caring and put me at ease instantly. She also helped me put my coat on when I was leaving knowing my arm was so sore. I had x-rays and the technician, Sandy was great. Dr. Syed was the doctor whom I saw and he was wonderful. I can not say enough good things about this facility. I am so thankful this wonderful facility is in my neighborhood.

We go go here often enough. Everyone is friendly and professional. Staff has been great all around. Care and treatments, no issues. Wait times vary, sometimes quick even with many people, other times slow even when no one is there or has left, it still takes a long while before being called.

I went there yesterday. Yes it is crowded, but chairs were spaced 6 feet apart in waiting room. I called ahead before going and they said it would be about a 2 hour wait. So I went home and grabbed a book. The front desk staff was helpful and were handling 10 million things at once, but somehow had time to take care of me. Dr. Bhabhrawala discussed my medical history in detail. Even though her waiting room was full, she was very thorough and soon I was on my way. Great place just call ahead before showing up.
